Page 98 of Innocent Bratva Twins

Freaking hormones have been ruling my life. The past month has been particularly bad, and I cry over absolutely everything.

Jade laughs when she notices and hands me a blue napkin with a little blue bunny on it. This makes me cry even more.

Nico pulls me into his arms and he’s laughing too.

“I’m glad you love it, my angel.”

The past five months have been the happiest of my entire life, and I have a feeling that it is only going to get better from here. With each passing moment, Nico and I grow closer, our love becoming stronger.

I tried to go back to work after everything blew over. The enemy was completely eliminated that day that Nico rescued me—there is no longer a threat from them and the rat, Justin, is no longer a concern—

At first, I was loving being back in the office with Nico, but within two months, I was so tired I couldn’t even think straight. The doctor told me that with my body being as petite as it is and trying to grow two pretty hefty little twin boys, larger than normal for babies in this trimester, I had no choice but to pause my career and take it easy.

Nico has made sure that I’ve been busy enough to stay out of trouble, though. He brings a file home here and there and lets me keep in the loop with things. I’ve joined the team that is searching for leads on Andrei and I help him with follow-ups—it’s so frustrating that we haven’t found him yet. I want to help Nico with that because I think it will help him with the pain he has after losing his little brother.

Nico keeps me sane by taking me on little adventures to beautiful restaurants, peaceful weekends away, trips to the beach now that the weather is warmer, and of course, shopping for baby things, which is my new favorite hobby.

It is the perfect afternoon in warm sunshine, surrounded by love and family while we celebrate the coming birth of our twins.

They shower us in gifts, and I feel like I’ve truly found my place in this world.

Late in the day, I let out a sneaky little yawn, which I try to hide behind my hand.

Nico leans over and whispers in my ear. “Say the secret words and I’ll have you whisked away and tucked in bed within seconds.”

I giggle, loving that he prepared me for this. I clear my throat and in a serious tone, I say. “Bananas really should come in other colors.”

A few of the people sitting around us turn to look at me with alarm and confusing in their eyes. “What?” Jade says, scutching her nose. “Have you gone mad?”

Nico and I are laughing at our private joke as he pulls me to my feet. “She’s gone mad. I have no choice but to rush her out of here before the madness infects you all.” He says dramatically.

“You two are idiots.” Jade laughs. “Get out of here, I’ll have my driver bring all of the gifts to your place tomorrow.” She waves us away with a smile, but before we leave, I grab her into the biggest hug ever. “Love you,” I say, holding her tight. “Love you too. I’m so happy my brother met you.”

At home, Nico insists on carrying me. All the way from the car, in the elevator, to the door, and to the bedroom.

“I can walk, you know,” I say, snuggled against him, loving every moment of it.

“Mm. But I don’t want to let you go.” He replies.

“What else don’t you want?” I whisper as he lets my feet slide to the ground.

“I don’t want you in this dress anymore.”

“I thought you liked this dress?” I say in horror.

“Oh, but what’s underneath it is so much more divine, my love.” He growls darkly.

I bite my lip and turn my back towards him, letting him slowly unzip the back of my dress. My heart beats faster and my skin begins to tingle with desire.

His hands brush over my body as he pushes the dress off my shoulders, over my hips and onto the floor. His touch sends shockwaves through me.

I turn to face him again, and my fingers pull open his belt, tugging his pants off. His eyes are locked onto me, his mouth set in a stern line as he stares at me with intensity.

“What?” I mutter, feeling self-conscious.

“Did I ever tell you that you are the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen?” he asks, reaching up to touch my face.

“You did.” I grin, my heart fluttering wildly.
